[By the way, I ran into Mejiro Palmer at breakfast today. I have to say, she is gorgeous. Those legs, that figure... simply unbeatable.]
[Her younger sister is Mejiro Ardan, a proper Chinese daughter-in-law.⁴]
[They are both great beauties. Just seeing them would brighten anyone's day.]
At this moment, Mejiro Palmer saw this entry.
"This Xu Zong guy... should I say he has good taste, or that he focuses on the wrong things?"
"For a horse girl, the most important thing should be running."
"But since when did Ardan become a Chinese daughter-in-law?"
Mejiro Palmer was a bit confused. She was indeed quite indifferent to matters of romance. She'd been pursued since she was young, by wealthy and famous families alike, but none had caught her eye. But when it came to her younger sister, Mejiro Ardan, she was quite concerned.
Mejiro Ardan was only 16. How did she become a daughter-in-law? A Chinese one, at that?
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Tokyo.
Mejiro Ardan was completely stunned when she read this. A Chinese daughter-in-law? What does that even mean?!
Similarly, Sakura Chiyono O was shocked. "A Ch-Chinese daughter-in-law? Eh?!!! Does... does that mean you're already married, Ardan? And it's a legendary... long-distance relationship?!!"
As Sakura Chiyono O spoke, her eyes widened. She wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with, and now her CPU was about to overheat.
"Ah... honestly, Chiyono-chan, don't talk nonsense," Mejiro Ardan quickly waved her hands. She was a complete blank slate when it came to romance. Her first love, first kiss, all were still intact, let alone marriage.
"Sob, sorry. Then what does Trainer Xu Zong mean? Why did he call you a Chinese daughter-in-law?" Sakura Chiyono O was also confused. They were just high school students.
"I don't know either." A blush inevitably appeared on Mejiro Ardan's pretty face. She did long for a passionate love, a sweet romance, and even... marriage. But that was all in the future. She was single right now.
"Wait, Trainer Xu Zong is Chinese, right? Could it be that he has a crush on Ardan? Is that why he's calling her that?" Yaeno Muteki, with her rich imagination, was not one to let things slide.
"Honestly, Yaeno Muteki-san, please don't spread rumors," Mejiro Ardan was a simple person and couldn't handle such teasing. Her face immediately turned a deeper shade of red.
And just then, Xu Zong's diary updated again.
[To be honest, both Mejiro Palmer and Mejiro Ardan are great. If I had to choose... only kids make choices. An adult, of course, wants them all.]
Seeing this sentence, the atmosphere in Ardan's hospital room exploded.
Yaeno Muteki was dumbfounded. She had just been teasing that Trainer Xu Zong might have a thing for Mejiro Ardan, but she never expected him to be so shameless as to declare he wanted them all.
Sakura Chiyono O also had a speechless expression. It was broad daylight. What kind of dream was Trainer Xu Zong having? And that was Mejiro Palmer he was talking about, who had rejected so many suitors.
And in an art gallery in Tokyo.
Mejiro Palmer was also rendered speechless.
"This guy is really bold. And to think I was considering letting Ardan have you as her trainer. Is this what men are like?"
Her interest waned, but she still remembered Xu Zong. After all, he was the first man who dared to say, "Mejiro Ardan and Mejiro Palmer, I want them all." If she ever had the chance, she would definitely have to meet this guy.
Back at Spica.
Mejiro McQueen blushed. Trainer Xu Zong, you are so shameless! Claiming to be on a break, but actually thinking about the Mejiro family's horse girls? And two at once, no less. As expected, all men are pigs.
And in Hong Kong, China.
A horse girl named Invincible was also at a loss. This Trainer Xu Zong was a real piece of work. But then, she paused. Mejiro Ardan? The name sounded strangely familiar. How odd.
Xu Zong's diary continued to update.
[But to be fair, I have a better feeling about Ardan. After all, I'm Chinese, and she brought us our invincible good son, our beloved horse.⁵]
[But Ardan really breaks my heart. Her constitution is just too weak. When I first learned about horse girls, I knew her ankles were not good. She's the first dear little sister to make my heart ache today.]
[As for Mejiro Palmer, she's too aloof. Honestly, a simple and shy guy like me, who doesn't like to initiate conversations, shouldn't get involved with a femme fatale like her.]
[On one hand, a heart-wrenching little sister. On the other, a frightening femme fatale.]
[The choice is pretty obvious, isn't it?]
In the Tokyo art gallery.
Even Mejiro Palmer's expression changed. She had been painting while reading the diary, her brushstrokes barely wavering. But when she saw that sentence, she couldn't hold back any longer.
Seriously, be a decent person, will you?
How did she become a "femme fatale"? If others saw this, if her grandparents, her father and mother saw this, what would they think? This guy was a master of slander. Ardan was a good girl, she admitted that, but she, Mejiro Palmer, was not a bad woman, okay?
However, while Mejiro Palmer was angry, someone else was happy.
And that was Mejiro Ardan.
Mejiro Ardan was already feeling dizzy, her face flushed red. She had just been reading the log for fun, planning to have a good laugh with Sakura Chiyono O and Yaeno Muteki.
But she got good news and bad news.
Good news: She found something to laugh at.
Bad news: She was the joke!
In just a few short minutes, she had become a "Chinese daughter-in-law," a "heart-wrenching little sister" pitied by Trainer Xu Zong, and even had a "good son" named Invincible.
What did all this mean? Trainer Xu Zong, how can you tarnish my reputation like this? Are you going to take responsibility for this? Mejiro Ardan couldn't handle this kind of talk.
"Wait? Invincible good son? He's not talking about me, is he?" Yaeno Muteki was also dumbfounded. She was just reading along, and suddenly her seniority had dropped.
Actually, she was mistaken. The real "invincible good son" was in China. Perhaps this was just a beautiful coincidence.
